title: Risk factors: predicting prognosis in patients with rhabdomyolysis.
abstract: A recent study developed a formula predicting hard outcomes of rhabdomyolysis (dialysis and death). Based on a rigid analytical approach, an eight factor score was elaborated with acceptable prognostic value, but clinical usefulness at this time seems limited. Perhaps the most promising application is for triage.
